The last election to Ducsu was held on July 6, 1990. In the last 28 years, the Dhaka University students could not cast their votes for selecting their representatives as the election process remained closed for all those years.

On January 17, 2018 the High Court ordered the Dhaka University authorities to take steps to organise Ducsu elections in six months’ time.

On January 6, the Supreme Court vacated its earlier order that stayed a High court order asking the Dhaka University authorities to take necessary steps within the next six months to hold the Ducsu election.

On November 1, 2018, the DU authorities published the draft voter list for the elections.
